I was asked to pick my favourite story on the Ukraine war to mark the first anniversary. This was the one I chose:
An oligarch-politician’s wife is caught smuggling suitcases stashed with cash out of the country— as the West sends unaccounted for $billions in.
This story was memory-holed so fast I suffered whiplash just from watching it happen.

Politician’s wife accused of smuggling £22m in cash out of Ukraine
The wife of a prominent Ukrainian politician is alleged to have carried more than £22 million in cash through a refugee border crossing into the EU.
The money, in US dollars and euros, was found by Hungarian customs in the baggage of Anastasia Kotvitska, according to Ukrainian media outlets. She is thewife of Igor Kotvitsky,52, a former MP.
A criminal case has been opened against Kotvitska for failing to declare the removal of the large sum from Ukraine, the reports said.
Kotvitsky, once Ukraine’s wealthiest MP, said his wife was leaving the country to give birth, but denied reports she was carrying $28 million and €1.3 million.
“All my money is in Ukrainian banks, I did not take anything out,” he said, before closing his social media account.
A statement from Kotvitsky on the social media of his Swiss-educated daughter Violetta, 24, said the story was “fake and rumours”.
Kotvitska, who reportedly travelled with two Hungarian men and her mother, has not commented.
She did not declare the cash as she left Ukraine at the Vilok border crossing but the money was found as she entered Hungary, Obozrevatel newspaper reported. She then made a declaration that she had brought the money into Hungary.
There is huge sensitivity in Ukraine about the wealthy elite trying to take their fortunes abroad, evading curbs on capital flight at a time when the country’s fate hangs in the balance.
Kovitsky reportedly controls, via associates, Nuclear Energy Systems of Ukraine and uranium deposits in the country. He is also seen as having close business and political links with Arsen Avakov, who was interior minister until last summer.
There are calls for a criminal investigation into border guards alleged to have turned a blind eye to cash at the crossing in the country’s Transcarpathian region.
Seyar Khushutov, a Kyiv businessman who revealed the Kotvitska case, said there was a tariff of bribes levied by customs officers enabling cash to leave the country.
“The names of the customs officers and border guards who do this are well known in narrow circles,” he said. These illicit payments amounted to “between 3-7.5 per cent”, depending on the amount and level of the applicant.

Ukraine: Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk's Ally Accused of Graft

Ukraine’s Ihor Kotvitsky,a lawmaker from Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk's People's Front party, has been accused of corruption for allegedly moving US$ 40 million to an offshore company through Ukraine’s state-owned Oshchadbank.
A Kyiv Post review of Kotvitsky’s 2014 assets declaration form found no such sum listed.
Serhiy Leshchenko, a member of Parliament for the Petro Poroshenko Bloc and a former journalist for Ukrainska Pravda, said that Kovitsky only declared the transaction six months past the legal deadline for doing so.
On Sept. 25, Leshchenko posted scanned copies of what he said were Kotvitsky’s original declaration and a corrected version on Ukrainska Pravda’s website.
Leschenko claims the documents showed that the cash was transferred to a Swiss bank account held by Panamanian company Kingston Group SA through Oshchadbank.
Both Kotvitsky and Interior Minister Arsen Avakov have brushed off the accusations.
“Leshchenko is a skilful manipulator,” said Avakov during a news conference in Kharkiv, adding that Kotvitsky was a “rigorous” taxpayer.
“For example, last year Kotvitsky paid 32 million Ukrainian hryvnia [US$ 1.49 million] of income tax. Everything else is manipulation,” claimed Avakov.
Kotvitsky told the Kyiv Post that “everyone distorts information in their own interests so much” that he did not wish to comment.
Oshchadbank denies any wrongdoing in making the transfer, claiming it had done its duty by reporting the transfer to the National Bank of Ukraine.

The glamorous wife of a prominent Ukrainian tycoon and politician 'carried £22 million in cash through a refugee border crossing into the EU', it is alleged.
The money - in US dollars and euros - was spotted by Hungarian customs in the baggage of the spouse of controversial ex-MP Igor Kotvitsky, 52, say reports.
A picture shows the suspected cash haul.
A criminal case has been opened into a failure by Anastasia Kotvitska to declare the removal of the large sum from the war-ravaged country, say reports in Kyiv.
Kotvitsky - once Ukraine’s wealthiest MP - said his wife was leaving the country to give birth, but denied reports she was carrying $28 million and 1.3 million euros.
'All my money is in Ukrainian banks, I did not take anything out,' he said, before closing his social media account.
A statement from him carried on the social media of his Swiss-educated daughter Violetta, 24, said the story was 'fake and rumours'.
Kotvitska, who reportedly travelled with two Hungarian men and her mother, has not commented on the frontier incident.
The allegation is that she did not declare the huge cash sum exiting Ukraine at the Vilok checkpoint, but the money was found by Hungarian customs officers, said Obozrevatel newspaper.
She then made a declaration that she had brought the sum into Hungary, an EU country
